G7 ambassadors to skip Nagasaki’s atomic bomb ceremony over controversy
The G7 countries—namely the United States, Britain, Germany, France, Italy, and Canada—have expressed their discontent through a joint letter dated July 19. The letter criticizes Nagasaki’s exclusion of Israel from the ceremony, which commemorates the atomic bombing of the city during World War II. The ambassadors argue that this exclusion unfairly aligns Israel with nations like Russia and Belarus, which are criticized for their roles in ongoing international conflicts.
